The firebrand of hardline unionism in Northern Ireland for decades, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
An implacable figure, he underwent a remarkable political transformation | :00:08. | :00:27. | |
Tributes have been paid from Protestant and Catholic | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
communities, including those who were once his most bitter enemies. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
We'll be looking at how the man nicknamed Dr No, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
eventually said yes to a deal that brought peace to Northern Ireland. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Oscar Pistorius is found guilty of killing his girlfriend, | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Reeva Steenkamp, and faces jail for manslaughter. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
On the streets and in the air, the campaigning in the Scottish | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
referendum debate steps up a gear as a new poll shows many voters are | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
The public raises nearly ?1 million for the dogs whose | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
And, there's a big scrum at Twickenham, but will there be | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
quite such a clamour for Rugby World Cup tickets? | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The multi-billion pound Thames 'super sewer' is given | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
It means higher water bills for customers. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
And, at least 37 years in jail each for the drug dealers | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Good evening, and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:20. | :01:44. | |
The Reverend Ian Paisley - for decades the distinctive | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
and implacable voice of hardline unionism in | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
He co-founded the Democratic Unionist Party | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
and led unionist opposition to Irish republicanism for 37 years. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
In one of the most remarkable political transformations | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
of recent times, he agreed to share power with his former enemies in the | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Among the many tributes to him today, the former IRA commander | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
and Dr Paisley's partner in Government, Martin McGuinness | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Our Ireland correspondent, Chris Buckler, looks back at | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
For decades he was the face and and more specifically the voice of | :02:18. | :02:32. | |
hardline unionism in Northern Ireland We say NEVER! Never, never. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
Never. Critics called Ian Paisley, Dr No, the sworn enemy of Irish | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
republicans and a man who refused to compromise his principles. But his | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
life marked one of the most remarkable journeys in modern | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
politics. Eventually, hi led his supporters and his party into | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Government with Sinn Fein. It was a deal that saw him share power with a | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
former IRA leader. It needed somebody with the history and | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
longstanding respect that Ian Paisley had to point out to people | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
that there was a better way ahead, now that we had reached the | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
circumstances where the IRA were no longer going to be involved in using | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
violence. Ian Richard Kyle Paisley was the son of a baptist are | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
minister and his own passion for preaching and politic was obvious | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
from the start. We declare our intention from this platform that we | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
will organise massive demonstrations... It all made | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
Paisley a brand name. In his image he built his own Protestant Church | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
and his own political party. The DUP gave him electoral strength and | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
controversy followed him to Stormont, Westminster and the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
European Parliament. Where he famously interrupted a papal visit. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Mr Paisley I now exclude you from this To many Catholics House. Leg | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
was a bigot and a bogey man. He flirted with the extremes of | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
loyalism including the shadowy group Ulster Resistance and successive | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
British governments found him a frustrating and fiery figure. He | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
made our life very unpleasant for a while. Personally, if you met him, | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
he was perfectly charming. Yes, 71.12%. Even when the public voted | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
in favour of the Good Friday peace agreement, Paisley continued to say | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
no. Eventually auto deal was agreed that saw the once unthinkable come | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
true. His Democratic Unionist Party entered Government with Sinn Fein. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Perhaps, even more shocking, was the new First Minister's friendship with | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
his deputy, Martin McGuinness. It was so good they became known as The | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
Chuckle Brothers. I think we confounded everybody. We who were | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
political opponents for decades. His allegiance to Britain, my allegiance | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
tole Ireland, but had the ability to have a proper and decent working | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
relationship and indeed a friendship which has existed to this very day. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
It was a relationship that damaged some of Ian Paisley's other | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
friendships, including those in his party and in his church. It defined | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
the legacy of a man who went from protester to peacemaker. I have' had | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
a good innings. I've made good friends. And, I've reconciled a lot | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
of enemies. Let's speak to our political editor, | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
Nick Robinson, who met Dr Paisley Nick, Ian Paisley's political | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
journey was a remarkable one, He was loved and loathed, wasn't he? | :05:40. | :05:52. | |
Is admired and feared. The story of his life, in many ways, was the | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
story of the remarkable transition of Northern Ireland from that | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
bitter, that brutal, that sectarian violence all the way to something | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
approaching normality. Now, I'm sure there are people still watching | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
today that library footage of Dr Paisley who will shiver with anger | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
and fear with that one word "never", never spoken always bell lowed. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Others will smile at the so-called Chuckle Brothers as they shared | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
power. The two enemies coming together to share power in Northern | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Ireland. It made some people believe the transition was simply | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
unbelievable. But part of the explanation I think was this. The | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
great gulf between the public figure and the private man. I once sat next | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
to him on a plane, quite by chance, he was studying scriptures, I tried | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
to get up a conversation, he was so softly spoken, so quiet, I could | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
barely hear a word he said over the engine noise. When he came off the | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
plane another reporter with a different camera confronted him. He | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
bell lowed again his defiance into the lens. He turned round and winked | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
at me. That was what politicians knew, that was what his enemies | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
knew. A man who they had feared, they came to value and many of them | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
saw him as their friend Dr No became Dr Yes. Nick Robinson, thank you | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
very much. Oscar Pistorius, | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
the South African athlete, faces up to 15 years in prison after | :07:21. | :07:21. | |
being found guilty of the culpable homicide - or manslaughter - | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. The judge said the State had failed | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
to prove that he intended to kill Ms Steenkamp when he fired four | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
shots through a toilet door in The Paralympian was also found | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
guilty of negligently handling a firearm | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
that went off in a restaurant. Our Africa correspondent, | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Andrew Harding, This trial has run in fits and | :07:41. | :07:53. | |
starts for over five months. Dividing people at home and abroad. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Today, Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp's family and friends | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
finally got some answers. And, no-one seemed entirely satisfied. Mr | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
Pistorius, please stand It's judgment time up. . A dramatic pause | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
as Oscar Pistorius stands and waits. The unanimous decision of this court | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
is the following. Then Judge Masipa gets to the point, is the athlete a | :08:24. | :08:35. | |
murder? On count one, murder with section 51.1. The accused is found | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
not guilty and is discharged. Instead he is found guilty of | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
culpable homicide. For once, a muted reaction. He had been warned | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
yesterday to expect this lesser verdict, the equivalent of | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
manslaughter. Reeva Steenkamp's family and friends tried to contain | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
their emotions. It's been a long ordeal. From the night the athlete | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
shot Reeva Steenkamp, believing, as the judge now agrees, that an | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
intruder had broken in. Through to Pistorius's own tearful evidence at | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
his murder trial. She wasn't breathing. To the anxious wait | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
yesterday and today from a verdict. His uncle thanked the judge for | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
rejecting the charge of murder. We always knew the facts of the matter. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
We had never any doubt in Oscar's version. We, as a family, remain | :09:42. | :09:53. | |
deeply affected by the devastating tragedy event. And, it won't bring | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
Reeva back, but our hearts still go out for her family and friends. When | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
it comes to murder then, Oscar Pistorius has been given the benefit | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
of the doubt. Many here consider he's had a lucky escape. As for | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
Reeva Steenkamp's friends and family, they still need to know | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
whether her killer will spend any time in prison. We have to learn to | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
live without Reeva now. The grieving family say they want justice, not | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
revenge. Only people that have gone through this will understand. It's | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
easy for other people to look in and see and listen and have their | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
thoughts, but only once they've gone through it will they know what we | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
feel. Today, Pistorius left court a free man, for now. The judge agreed | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
to extend his bail and rejected the State's claim that he might flee the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
country. The athlete will be back next month for sentencing. He could | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
still get a prison term. He could. It's a serious case of culpable | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
homicide because of the use of the firearm and that particularly that | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
four shots were fired. So, the judge has a complete discretion. She can | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
impose any kind of sentence. It could even be a non-jail sentence. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
She needs to send out a strong message to the public. Tonight, | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Pistorius is back at his uncle's home. Some, in South Africa, have | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
forgiven him, some have not. The possibility of a prison sentence | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
still hangs in the air. Well, after all the horrific details about Reeva | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Steenkamp's death it's easy to forget 18 months ago it seemed like | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
nothing could stop Oscar Pistorius's extraordinary career. Our chief | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
sports correspondent, Dan Roan now has this assessment. Oscar Pistorius | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
did more than win races, he changed the way the world viewed disability. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
Long before he became extraordinary, ordinary was all he wanted to be. | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
They may call me the Blade Runner I'm just Oscar. When I was born with | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
missing calf bones my parents faced the difficult decision of getting my | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
legs amputated. Today I can look back and say they definitely made | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
the right decision. Few know Pistorius as well as his long-term | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
training partner here in Pretoria. I can't count how many times he hugged | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
me. I can say Oscar is a gentleman. He is somebody who would stick to | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
his words. He was chasing a dream. A big dream. That dream began when at | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
school when he was given carbon fibre prosthetics and began to run. | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
Here in this stadium in March 2004 when a teenage Pistorius, after two | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
months of training with blades, showed just how good he was. Running | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
the 100 meters in just 11. 51 seconds, a new world record. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Confidence was no problem as Pistorius told the BBC in 2007. I | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
put in my more hours, I eat better, sleep better, race better. Overall I | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
think I'm more diligent. I train better than the other guys. | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
COMMENTATOR: Oscar Pistorius is flying away. Paralympic golds | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
followed in Athens and Beijing. By now, Pistorius had become a brand. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
They told me that I'd never walk. The man with no legs can't run. | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
Anything else you want to tell me! In 2012 Pistorius made history. The | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
first amputee to run at the Olympics. There was controversy in | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
London too. Arnu Fourie, who was a roommate with Oscar Pistorius, told | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
me had he to move out of their room because Oscar had gone hysterical on | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
the phone, shouting and screaming on the phone. The story was confirmed | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
by other athletes who said it was terrible to witness. This incredible | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
meltdown. Fourie later said he left the room on medical advice before a | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
big race. There was a growing sense that fame and fortune had gone to | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
his team-mate's head. At Pretoria University, where Pistorius based | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
his training, a new generation of Paralympic hopefuls remain loyal. He | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
is still an inspiration for me, even though his circumstances. As I lost | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
my leg I saw him doing so well without two legs, and he was a role | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
model of mine. Is with Pistorius being sentenced next month, his | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
future remains unclear. In terms of Paralympics, Oscar was the first | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
global star, now life for him will be incredibly different. People are | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
already talking about, can he return to athletics? Well, I think Rio is | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
virtually impossible. There is how he feels psychologically and how | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
people will treat him around the world. Pistorius will now be defined | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
by tragic events away from the track. Whatever his punish am, one | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
of sports most dramatic falls from grace is complete. Dan Roan, BBC | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
News, Pretoria. -- punishments. This trial has been about so many things, | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
a celebrity murder a fallen I con for South Africa, the rare | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
experience of seeing a black woman judging a powerful white man. It's | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
been about one moment of confusion and madness and the death of a young | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
woman. Fiona. Andrew, thank you. Our top story. The unionist leader, | :15:36. | :15:50. | |
Ian Paisley, has died. He was 88. Coming up. Join me at Twickenham, | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
where these fans are attempting a world record and tickets for next | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
year's World Cup have gone on sale. On BBC London - the death of a nurse | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
caring for the Duchess of Cambridge at a central London Hospital. A | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
coroner says it was suicide and we'll be live at the Olympic Park | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
for day two of the Invictus Games. It's been another day | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
of intense campaigning in Scotland, ahead of next Thursday's referendum | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
on independence. Today saw Yes campaign leaders | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
visiting seven Scottish cities and the No campaign preparing | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
for a major Labour rally tonight which will see Ed Miliband | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
and the former Prime Minister, Yes, this time next week we will | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
almost certainly know whether or not Scotland will become | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
an independent country. A new poll today points to | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
a knife-edge result with the No campaign on 51% | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
and the Yes campaign on 49%. Well, Scotland's first minister, | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
Alex Salmond, says he is more confident than ever that the people | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
of Scotland will vote Yes. But the No campaign is fighting all | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
the way, as Lorna Gordon reports. Taking to the air, Alex Salmond and | :17:05. | :17:16. | |
others on his team, visiting all of Scotland's seven cities to push the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Yes message across the country. Thanks, John. The No campaign were | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
also out in force. In less than a week's time, we should know which | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
way Scots are voting. Polling suggests that at the moment the | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
result is too close to call. Both sides know it and are working hard | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
to secure their vote. We are a few days away from the people of | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Scotland taking control of the future of our own country. The | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Westminster establishment doesn't want that to happen so they'll throw | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
everything they can. But you know what, I don't think it'll work. | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
Those campaigning for the union, argued again today, that prices | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
could rise if people opt for independence. It is a claim they | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
believe resonates with voters. We're expected to take a risk on | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
supermarket prices. We have been warned that may be a consequence of | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
us becoming an independent country. The fact of the matter - it is not | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
necessary. Some businesses see risk with independence. Others say the | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
risks are being hyped up. So, who do savvy Scottish shoppers believe? It | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
is embarrassing. All scare tactics, nobody is listening to it. I don't | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
have any doubt that prices are going to change. A lot of things will, we | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
don't know what. For me that's the uncertainty of it all. Some postal | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
votes have already been cast but there are plenty of people who are | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
still undecided and new opinions are now being added into the mix. This | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
evening, Nigel Farage is wading in by giving a speech here in Glasgow. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
It's not at all clear what affect his intervention will have, if any, | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
but he is not a politician that's known for holding back and he is | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
unlikely to get a warm welcome from some. This is not an independence | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
referendum. Salmond says it is, Better Together says it is, it is | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
not. This referendum is about separation from England and signing | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
up to be a full member of the EU state. Those campaigning for | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
independence remain focussed on their message, heading into this | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
final weekend. I'm pleased about the polls, obviously but I'm much more | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
pleased about this grassroots campaign, surging across the | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
southern cities of Scotland today, which I believe will carry Scotland | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
to victory next Thursday. Heading rhetoric from both sides, but still | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
time for a little humour amongst the voters, as the time to make a | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
decision on Scotland's future draws closer. | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
Well, the debate here about independence has prompted | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
other parts of the UK to question whether they should have more | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
Today, the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
called for more powers for England's cities - cities like Manchester. | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
From there, our correspondent, Mike Sergeant, sent this report. | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
City regions, like Greater Manchester, | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
They're watching events in Scotland and asking - what about us? | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
Nathan Cornish, a regional developer, thinks | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
the opportunity for devolution in England should be seized. | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
Manchester and the north-west is crying out for it. | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
I think they have the politicians here capable of making decisions. | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
It seems crazy that often big, important decisions are made 200 | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
I think the region is crying out for more power. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
One plan published today is for a ten-year process of transferring | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
powers, over things like housing, welfare and transport. | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
Combined authorities like Greater Manchester could be given full | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
control of council tax, property taxes and business rates might also | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
be devolved and perhaps, in time, even a share of income tax. | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
Ideas welcomed by Nick Clegg in Sheffield. If we are devolving more | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
power, as we should to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland within | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
the UK, surely great cities like this should have more power to stand | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
on their own two feet as well. This clothing business has been | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
operating in Manchester for almost 100 years, | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
and some of the staff instinctively I mean, | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
they always talk about London, But the boss says new layers of | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
government aren't always welcome. If it was very, very small | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
and very controlled, yes. If it creates a lot of expense, | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
then, no. You don't want extra powers | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
if it means extra bureaucracy? I don't want any more cost-loading | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
to the already exhaustive costs we have loaded to a small factory | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
like this. Since the Second World War, | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
responsibilities for local government here in Manchester | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
and elsewhere have been squeezed. The dominant story has been one | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
of centralisation. And repeated attempts to push | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
control out to regional assemblies or elected mayors have failed, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
often rejected by the very people they were designed to empower, | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
the residents themselves. The leaders of England's big cities | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
joined forces Both Government and Opposition say | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
they are listening but for so many years, power has been hoarded | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
in Westminster and Whitehall. The promise of English devolution, | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
as yet, unfulfilled. Our Scotland Political Editor, | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
Brian Taylor, is with me here. The campaigning is reaching fever | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
pitch. Still quite a few people who remain undecided. But the stakes are | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
so high? The stakes are enormous. The Chancellor, George Osborne was | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
due to attend a G20 summit in Australia the weekend after polling | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
on the Thursday. He has cancelled that visit that allows him to stay | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
in the UK to urge No vote and to cope with the aftermath if the vote | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
is Yes. The No camp is saying there is a genuine economic threat to | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Scotland and people should reject independence. The Yes camp say it is | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
scaremongering a inScots should have the courage to vote Yes. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
-- and the Scots. That's all for now. I will have more at 10.00pm. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Back to the studio. 60 dogs have been killed | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
in a fire that swept through a dogs' A 15-year-old boy has been | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
detained on suspicion of arson. The charity that runs the home says | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
it has been overwhelmed with the Nearly ?1 million has been pledged | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
online and dog food Looking out from her new kennel, Eva | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
has had a lucky escape. Last night she was pulled out of the Manchester | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
Dogs Home as fire raged through T Eva was one of 150 animals to be | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
saved as the flames took hold and local people joined with kennel | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
staff and firefighters. We saw a big bellow of smoke at the bottom of the | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
street. Daniel and Jason were two of those who helped with the rescue. | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
The building was on fire at the side. We were running past, windows | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
were popping. You obviously knew the dogs were in there. What was your | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
first thought? ? Get them out. We could hear them screaming. It was | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
quick reaction, straight down, in, get them out, one at a time. The | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
alarm was raised quickly but the fire was so fierce that more than | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
one-quarters of the dogs housed here died in the blaze. The building has | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
been declared so unsafe that it is currently not possible to find out | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
exactly how many perished. Kennel staff hasn't made it into the burned | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
building yet. The fire people have. Whether there is additional bodies | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
at the moment, we don't know. As far as we are concerned one was far too | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
many to be lost in the fire, let alone the number that we are facing. | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
A teenager has been arrested and the police are treating the fire as | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
arson. REPORTER: Can you give us an idea of how extensive the damage is? | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
It is a complex of different buildings, and one of the large | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
kennel buildings has been virtually completely destroyed. Most of the | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
dogs rescued last night have been brought to these kennels in | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
Cheshire. Many were suffering from the affects of breathing in smoke | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
and others were showing such signs of stress, they had to be sedated. | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
Founded in 1893, the Dogs Home is a well-loved Manchester institution. | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
People have rushed to help, donating ?1 million in 24 hours and bringing | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
piles of blankets, beds and dog food for Eva and the other surviving | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
animals. Organisers for the 2015 World Cup have defended the high | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
price of some of the tickets that went on sale today. Our sports | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
correspondent Natalie Picks reports -- Pirks reports. | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
Fans excited today to be among the famous faces, the in the record for | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
the world's largest skru. Excitement is now building one for the largest | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
events to be held on these shores. I will miss competing and running out | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
but goodness me, what I would give to be part of that Rugby World Cup | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
team, it would be phenomenal. The scrum for tickets has only just | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
begun. If you want it watch Wales take on England, the ballot is open | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
and although organisers say they have done their best to keep prices | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
down, prices vary. You can pick up a child's ticket for ?7 and an adult | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
for ?15 and if you are a Scotland fan, some matches are on sale for | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
?20. England fans are not so lucky. If you want to watch them here at | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
Twickenham, it'll cost a minimum of ?75 and that's if you are lucky | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
enough to get them through the official ballot. Sites like this | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
selling tickets for bay over face value were illegal during the | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
Olympics but the Government didn't extend that courtesy to the Rugby | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
World Cup. If you want to ensure the ticket is genuine, buy it through | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
us. That's the only way to be assured what you are getting will | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
turn up. New Zealand won the last World Cup in their own back yard. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
How England fans would love to see those scenes emanated, if they can | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
get their hands on ticket, of course. | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Now let's take a look at the weather with John Hammond. | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
A quiet weekend coming up. Up in space it is all happening. We have a | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
period of high solar activity which means there is a greater than normal | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
chance of seeing the Northern Lights. This picture was taken a few | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
weeks ago in the north of Scotland. You know what, if the skies remain | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
clear overnight, there is a greater than average chance you might see | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
the Northern Lights across northern parts of the UK, if the skies remain | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
clear. So take peak out of the window. Look to the north and you | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
might get a pleasant surprise. For the rest, a quiet night. Patchy | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
cloud. Areas of fog developing, particularly across more northern | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
parts. Nobody immune to a patch of fog in the rural areas, where there | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
are the lowest temperatures, particularly if it stays clear in | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. No as cold further south. A murky start to | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
the day tomorrow. Fog and mist around which should lift and the | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
cloud should break and most of us look forward to sunshine. A nice day | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
for the middle of September. Like today, temperatures will respond | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
nicely. We got up to 24. We won't be far off in some places for tomorrow. | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
Winds light. The big picture through the weekend, a freshening easterly | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
wind. High pressure is still in control. That means most of us will | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
stay dry. Not ruling out the odd spot of drizzle and the odd light | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
shower across eastern areas on Sunday. The vast majority will stay | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
fine and it'll feel pleasant in the sunshine. Mostly dry, some sunshine, | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
but it'll be turning quite breezy. Thank you very much. That's it. | :29:02. | :29:04. | |
Goodbye from | :29:05. | :29:05. |
